MAD Ledger Function, an acronym for Mutually Assured Destruction Ledger Function, refers to a theoretical or designed property within certain decentralized systems where any attempt by a malicious actor to compromise the ledger would inevitably lead to severe, self-inflicted consequences for the attacker. This concept serves as a powerful disincentive against network attacks. It ensures that attacking the system becomes economically irrational.
Context
The MAD Ledger Function is a concept discussed in advanced blockchain security models, particularly in contexts where network integrity is paramount and potential attacks could be catastrophic. It is often considered in the design of highly resilient and self-correcting decentralized networks. The feasibility and implementation of such a function remain areas of ongoing theoretical research and practical development.
A novel DAG-based ledger function discards block content during tie-breaks, fundamentally removing the MEV incentive that destabilizes consensus protocols.
